Recycled materials
Recognized as a leader in its field, 2M Resources has been helping Quebec companies manage their residual materials since 1999. With a business model based on the circular economy, 2M Resources has developed expertise in processing glass as well as many other materials for companies in Quebec and Ontario.
Glass, an infinitely recyclable material
Glass is a unique example of the circular economy. It is 100% recyclable, ad infinitum! A bottle becomes a bottle again, and this cycle can be repeated ad infinitum. Glass can be remelted over and over again and transformed into a new bottle without ever losing any of its many qualities. It retains its transparency, impermeability and excellent long-term storage capacity.
Recycled glass makes it possible to:
- Consume 40% less energy than manufacturing a bottle from raw materials
- Reduce GHGs
- Preserve natural resources
- Contribute to the circular economy
- Do your part for the environment!
